The Great Song Dynasty, whether in Xia Fan's previous life, in Chinese history, or in the phantom martial arts world, can be said to be the most prosperous dynasty in terms of economy and humanities, and at the same time, it is also the weakest dynasty.

This kind of weakness is not that the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are not strong, nor that there are no famous generals in the Great Song Dynasty, the top generals in the Yang family, the Hu family, the Gao family, the Zhe family and other military generals have produced one after another, and there are more peerless famous generals such as Di Qing, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong.

In addition to the two major dynasties of the Ming Dynasty in the east and the Tang Dynasty in the west, there were three medium-sized kingdoms of Jin, Liao and Western Xia in the north and the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Although the total land area of the Jin, Liao, and Western Xia Kingdoms is far less than that of the Great Song Dynasty, the sum of the Three Kingdoms is not half of the land area of the Great Song Dynasty, and the economy and humanities are even less than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, because of this, the three kingdoms of Jin, Liao, and Western Xia can be said to be all soldiers, and the strength of the force is no longer under the five major dynasties.

These three countries are all nomadic people, predatory by nature, long years to invade the Great Song Dynasty, plunder the Great Song Dynasty border people, fortunately the Great Song Dynasty military generals and those peerless famous generals have been in the northern frontier for many years, so as to stick to the country, resist the invasion of these barbarians.

It can be said that in the long-term war, the generals and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty were by no means inferior to the other four dynasties of the five major dynasties, and even much stronger than the other four dynasties.

However, looking at the five strongest dynasties in the entire Phantom Martial Arts Realm, the weakest armament is still the Great Song Dynasty, and the root cause is the policies and systems of the Great Song Dynasty.

The weakness of the outside world and the prevention and suppression of military generals by its civilian system made the combat power of the army of the Great Song Dynasty very weak, and such a dynasty naturally became Xia Fan's first target.

And because the Great Song Dynasty sent all the famous generals who were really capable to the northern frontier, the meat grinder, the army on the border between the Ming and Song dynasties was just some second-rate generals.

Therefore, when Xia Fan's million-strong army entered the Great Song Dynasty when it crossed the border between the Ming and Song dynasties, the resistance encountered could be described as extremely weak, and many Great Song defenders had no defensive thoughts after seeing Xia Fan's million-strong elite army, and fleeing or surrendering was the only thing they could do.

Xia Fan's million-strong army was non-stop, clearing the customs and passing the road, advancing all the way, and in only ten days, he had already marched thousands of miles in a hurry, and the troops were under the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, Bianjing.

At this time, the authorities of the Great Song Dynasty were still arguing about leading the troops, until a million soldiers came to the city and surrounded the entire Bianjing City.

However, those loyal ministers and famous generals of the Great Song Dynasty who really have strong combat power are still far away in the northern frontier, and they are contained by the three northern countries, and it is difficult to rescue urgently.

At this time, the imperial ministers of the Great Song Dynasty panicked eagerly, this is a crisis they have never encountered, although the Great Song Dynasty is the weakest dynasty of the five major five dynasties in the phantom martial arts world, and it has been attacked by the barbarians of the three northern kingdoms for many years, but after all, it is a great dynasty, but it has never been hit to the heart.

However, now the imperial ministers of the Great Song Dynasty have tasted this taste for the first time.

Fear, fear, anger, and uneasiness filled the hearts of these usually high-ranking people, but they were helpless in the face of the boundless army outside the city.

Fortunately, at this time, another force of the Great Song Dynasty urgently intervened in the war and blocked Xia Fan's million-strong army from Bianjing.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the most powerful force is not in the court, but in the rivers and lakes martial arts, large and small sects, in fact, this is the common feature of every dynasty in the phantom martial arts world, and it is also the rule of the illusory martial arts world.

Compared with the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty's armaments, the Great Song Dynasty's martial arts world is far stronger than most other dynasties in the Phantom Martial Arts Realm, as the No. 1 beggar gang in the Phantom Martial Arts Realm on the same level as the Sun Moon Divine Sect, its headquarters is in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the sect with the greatest power in the Great Song Dynasty.

The so-called beggar gang disciples are all over the world, as far as the disciples are concerned, the number of beggar gangs is so large that it can be called the largest sect in the phantom martial arts world, and there is no one.

Among the beggars, the masters are like clouds, Qiao Feng, Guo Jing, Hong Qigong, Huang Rong and others are all the top powerhouses in the fantasy martial arts world, especially Qiao Feng, who can be called a martial arts wizard, and his martial arts are no longer undefeated in the East.

This is what Dongfang Undefeated admitted when he was chatting with Xia Fan.

When Xia Fan's army attacked the border of the Great Song Dynasty, the martial arts world of the Great Song Dynasty had already received the news, and under the call of the beggar gang, the entire martial arts world of the Great Song Dynasty began to boil, gathered together, and went to the border of the Song and Ming dynasties, preparing to block the invasion and attack of the Xia Fan army.

It's just that Qiao Feng and the others didn't expect that the army of the Great Song Dynasty would be so unbearable that they couldn't even stop it for some time, and they actually let the million-strong invading army of the Ming Dynasty go straight into the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty.

However, the speed of the people in the martial arts was still much faster than the march speed of the million-strong army, and after the border was empty, they sped up their speed and finally stopped Xia Fan's million-strong army in the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Brother Xia, you and I fought ten years ago, so unhappy, I said that you are just a person who has become an idiot in martial arts, but I didn't expect that you have the ambition to compete for the world!" Qiao Feng, the leader of the beggar gang, said loudly as he stood on the thick and tall city.

Ten years ago, Xia Fan challenged the major sects and smashed all over the world, Qiao Feng was the leader of the largest gang in the world, Xia Fan naturally fought with it, Xia Fan's dedication to martial arts at that time was very appreciated by Qiao Feng.

"Martial idiot, Hahaha, Qiao Gang Master, you have won the award, I am not a martial idiot, although I like martial arts, but martial arts are just tools to achieve my wishes" Xia Fan Ha Ha Da Lu smiled:

"As for the fight for the world, Qiao Gang Leader, as the leader of the first gang in the world, you should know that when the various factions besieged Heimu Cliff, the world's catastrophe had begun, if I didn't fight for the world, I would be crushed by the catastrophe, how could this world not fight!"

What Xia Fan said made Qiao Feng speechless, although Xia Fan's words were a little reluctant and lazy, but it was the truth, Qiao Feng, as the leader of the first gang in the world, naturally understood the general trend of the world, even among his beggar gangs, there were also undercurrents, and some people wanted to use the power of the beggar gang to compete for the world.

"Brother Xia Fan is really ambitious, I Qiao Feng sincerely admire it, but the Great Song Dynasty is still my Qiao Feng's country, and with my relatives and friends, it will definitely not be ruined!" Qiao Feng said with a resolute face.

"In this case, let's fight!" Xia Fan said indifferently.

"Boom, boom!boom!"

Countless Ming warriors lined up in a phalanx and slowly marched towards the tall capital in front, countless footsteps gathered together, like thunder, and the invisible pressure rushed towards Bianjing City like a huge wave of the sea when the army moved.

"Bell!Bell!·"

After feeling this incomparably powerful force, the Great Song defenders on the city wall of Bianjing City suddenly felt frightened and could not hold themselves, and some soldiers even fell to the ground with weapons in their hands.

Even if it is a beggar gang and other martial artists, as long as they are below the first-class martial artists, they can hardly resist the impact of this military momentum, and they can't help but retreat a few steps.

"Brothers, there are millions of troops outside the city, this looks terrifying" Seeing that everyone was frightened, Qiao Feng said loudly: "However, Bianjing City is so big, a million army can't all participate in the battle at all, and we don't have many enemies to face at one time." ”

"What's more, we have more masters than them, our combat effectiveness is stronger than theirs, we are defending the city, and the advantage of defending the city is much stronger than attacking the city, what are you afraid of? It should be them who are afraid!"

"See, behind us are our relatives, our homeland, if we can't hold this city, our relatives will die, our homeland will be destroyed!"

"Do you want to see such a scene?"

"Don't want to !!"

"If you don't want to, then fight!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

The crowd was excited, although the soldiers were still afraid, still afraid, but no one retreated, no one flinched, and everyone faced the onslaught of the million-strong army.

"Okay!" Feeling the change in morale in Bianjing City, Xia Fan couldn't help but exclaim: "It's a pity!"

In this battle, Xia Fan did not rush up to attack the city in person, and fought in a real army of hundreds of thousands or millions, and the role that personal strength could play in it was extremely small.

Unless this person's strength has surpassed the limit of the Phantom Martial Realm, just like the nuclear bomb in the previous technological realm, it has become a strategic weapon.

However, it was obvious that Xia Fan did not have this ability, whether it was in the Jiuzhou Continent or in the Phantom Martial Realm, which was also the reason why Qiao Feng and the other Great Song heroes had the confidence to defend Bianjing City.

After all, although the gathering of the Great Song Dynasty martial arts world was rapid this time, there were about 200,000 martial artists gathered in Bianjing City, of which 50,000 were first-class martial artists.

According to the siege method in war, the number of siege troops must be five times the number of defenders before the city can be captured, and Xia Fan's Ming army is only a million troops.

Even if Xia Fan captured Bianjing City after the most reluctance, at that time, there were not many people left under Xia Fan.

What's more, before that, there is enough time for the army in the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty to come back to help, and at that time, the attack from both sides will be enough to control Xia Fan to death.

What Qiao Feng and the others thought, how could Xia Fan not know that if Xia Fan wants to conquer the world, he will inevitably be enemies on all sides, so in the early stage of the war, he must end every battle at the speed of a blitzkrieg, thinking that he has the time and space to win.

When the Ming army advanced to a distance of 100 zhang outside Bianjing City, the army suddenly stopped advancing, and the entire battlefield suddenly fell into silence.

At this time, tens of thousands of soldiers in different clothes walked out of the rear of the Ming army, each of them carrying countless utensils on their shoulders, came to the rear of the Ming army, and began to assemble the utensils in their hands.

In just two quarters of an hour, all the tools were assembled, and a long-armed machine erected high rose up—a catapult.
